‘Want To Do Something To Indian Football’: Kuldeep Yadav Reveals His Aim To Start An Academy
Kuldeep has played seven IPL matches, picked up 12 wickets with an average of 19.00, and holds an economy of 8.44.
New Delhi: India left-arm wrist spinner Kuldeep Yadav who is currently playing in Delhi Capitals in the ongoing season of the Indian Premier League revealed his plan to do something for Indian football in the future.
Kuldeep has played seven IPL matches, picked up 12 wickets with an average of 19.00, and holds an economy of 8.44.
“I want to do something to Indian football in future – we have lots of potential but they are not getting the full resources so my aim is to start an academy” said Kuldeep on Ravichandran Ashwin’s youtube vodcast.
Kuldeep will now be seen in action in the upcoming match between DC and Kolkata Knight Riders which will be played at Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
DC vs KKR IPL 2024 Match Preview
With four wins in their last five matches, the Rishabh Pant-led side is gradually assembling their pieces and starting to look like a force to be reckoned with.
On the other hand, the Gautam Gambhir-mentored side has endured three defeats in their last five matches with their profligacy in bowling hurting them badly.
Signed up as Lungi Ngidi’s replacement, Aussie Jake Fraser-McGurk has proved to be their X-factor with his ferocious batting display at the top.
A natural power-hitter with superb hand-eye coordination, the 22-year-old has taken the IPL by storm scoring 247 runs in five matches at a strike-rate of 237.50.
His brutal treatment of the otherwise sensational Jasprit Bumrah stands as a testimony of his skill-level. McGurk slammed a slower ball from the Mumbai Indians pacer for a six and it was the first time a batter lofted Bumrah for a first-ball six.
The pacer conceded 18 runs in his first over, the most by him in this season in a single over as DC overcame MI by 10 runs on Saturday.
He made a 27-ball 84 against MI, and McGurk will relish the batting-friendly conditions at Eden Gardens where 523 runs, including a record 42 sixes, were scored between Punjab Kings and KKR.
